Introduction

Learning was fun. Numbers were fun. So what happened? Maybe the trouble

started with long division. Or sorting out how to change fractions to decimals.

Could it have been figuring out how to add 8 percent sales tax to the cost of a

purchase? Reading a graph? Converting miles to kilometers? Trying to find

that most dreaded value of x? Wherever it started, you began to suspect that

math didn’t like you — and you didn’t like math very much, either.

Why do people often enter preschool excited about learning how to count

and leave high school as young adults convinced that they can’t do math?

The answer to this question would probably take 20 books this size, but

solving the problem can begin right here.

I humbly ask you to put aside any doubts. Remember, just for a moment, an

innocent time — a time before math inspired panic attacks or, at best, induced

irresistible drowsiness. In this book, I take you from an understanding of the

basics to the place where you’re ready to enter any algebra class and succeed.

About This Book

Somewhere along the road from counting to algebra, most people experience
the Great Math Breakdown. This feels something like when your car begins
smoking and sputtering on a 110-degree highway somewhere between
Noplace and Not Much Else!

Please consider this book your personal roadside helper, and think of me as
your friendly math mechanic (only much cheaper!). Stranded on the inter-
state, you may feel frustrated by circumstances and betrayed by your vehi-
cle, but for the guy holding the toolbox, it’s all in a day’s work. The tools for
fixing the problem are in this book.
